nothing much,

not really.

seven billion is a big number

so theyā€™ll praise me for being one less

gaping mouth on a sweating globe.

piss in my face if it brings you enjoyment

three holes are fun for lots of things

we can make more of them for the

right price.

the secret they donā€™t want you to know:

ā€œwe donā€™t need any poets

we donā€™t need any artists

we donā€™t need any scientists

we donā€™t need any engineers

we donā€™t need anything.

we need you to fuck off and

fertilize our soil

but make your tight wet spaces useful

before you go.ā€

there are enough red upturned arrows

enough bored eyes at four in the morning

so steal the stage from me

i canā€™t be bothered to dust off the

cobwebs anymore.

even if I mixed our blood together and

shook it in a jar,

nothing would keep me tethered to

anyone

my words would never break through your

stratosphere

not even your screen

everyone thinks love is a length of chain

strangle me with its metal so I can feel

one last cold indifference

more comforting than a belly

full of vicodin

this game is boring and i donā€™t

want to play

this poem is stupid

an amoeba eats my brain

my red string leads to the abyss

iā€™d cut my

finger off to

kill

the temptation

none of you

want me

a land of rust

and hollow

shifters

jerk off

to me,

lie to me with

the cum

stains

still wet,

dear

stranger.

this

game

is

boring.

and

I

donā€™t

want

to

play

Youā€™re definitely gettin where I was goin.

For me personally, I find that the desire for connection and love can be crippling. We see what society wants from us, especially as women, and the fastest way to grab connection is with your body. Surely someone will care about you if you flash them or suck their dick, right?

Wrong.

Iā€™m kind of toxic in that I see one of lifeā€™s biggest privileges to be able to be ā€œin loveā€ with others, as itā€™s an amazing feeling obviously.

But my dilemma is: I see the world changing. I see that commitment is an issue with many men and it makes me feel at a loss- because you canā€™t change people. While monogamy scared others, non-monogamy scares me. Iā€™m afraid of a day where humans will only briefly encounter each other, breed, and romantic attraction will cease to exist. Iā€™m afraid that the words I speak, the Art I try so hard to make, my career in art, will all fall on deaf ears. So much so that sometimes I just want the stage to be taken from me.

This world I envision makes me very nihilistic to the point where I question my own existence. What is life without connection?

I guess thatā€™s the struggle Iā€™m going through currently. Iā€™m passing through a period of being angry and confused to one where Iā€™m just, in your words, apathetic.

Thanks for your correction on the seven billion thing though. I write this while half asleep šŸ˜‚
